I sold this...errr...car, I mean bike... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] (#81) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Mike Lynch) on Sat, 8 Sep 2007 13:36:09 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
One of myt first customers here at the BMW motorcycles store was this fellow, Ed Bell. He was the fastest BMW motorcycle at the 2007 BUB Motorcycles Speed Trials at the Bonneville Salt Flats this year.
BMW sponsored the event in hopes of having Andy Sills set a record on his turbo K1200S. BMW is still living off the 2005 glory of Andy setting an FIM Land Speed Record of 173mph on his K1200S normally aspirated in the class for production faired motorcycles. Or a more amazing record to me, 167mph with his girlfriend two up! There were a couple of courses on the salt including a BMW XPLOR sponsored "run what you brung" class. My owner, Gary Orr went to on a K1200S, only 158 mph......
Ed rides his yellow K1200R daily, and is a very funny guy. He's also a very big guy, thought to be an aerodynamic disadvantage, but this year the salt was so soft his superior road holding weight won out.....
